We have 3 new digital releases/updates for Eclipse Phase today! Check them out:

EP Gamemaster Pack PDFs

This pack is ideal for gamemasters looking for both a useful reference tool and an adventure that will pitch them right into the Eclipse Phase setting. It contains:

  • A four-panel portrait GM screen on sturdy cardboard stock, featuring all of the tables an Eclipse Phase gamemaster needs in one place for handy reference.
  • A 24-page starting adventure in which agents of Firewall investigate a missing comrade and are pitted against a legacy of the TITANs that destroyed Earth.
(The physical hardcopy product is at the printer. We don't have a street release date yet, but we'll post it when we do. Also, we will be offering bundle hardcopy-PDF deals in the future.)

EP GM Screen Hack Pack

This item is for those that like to customize and hack at their game materials! It contains:

  • The full EP Gamemaster Screen Pack described above.
  • InDesign files (Compatible with CS3, CS4, and probably CS2) for the Tables side of the GM Screen. These tables use GPLed fonts and the screen itself is Creative Commons-license, so you can edit and distribute your modifications non-commercially!

Eclipse Phase Core Rulebook Update

The PDF of the core rulebook is now updated with all of the errata that will appear in the second printing (now at the printer). Customers who purchased the PDF previously will receive a notification of the update and a download link for the revised version.
The physical books are out-of-stock at Catalyst (though some distributors and retailers will still have them) until the second printing comes in (we don't have a street date yet, we'll announce it when we do). A package PDF-hardcopy deal will be available when the book is back in stock.

Effective as of last week, Catalyst Game Labs has lowered the prices for its core rulebook PDFs for all game lines. This includes:

SHADOWRUN

Shadowrun 20th Anniversary Edition: $15
Runner’s Companion: $12
Arsenal: $12
Augmentation: $12
Unwired: $12
Street Magic: $12

BATTLETECH

Total Warfare: $15

Strategic Operations: $15

CTHULHUTECH

Catalyst Game Labs has embraced electronic publishing as a vital medium for expanding a community’s enjoyment of a game line. This is readily apparent with the launch of Eclipse Phase under the Creative Commons license and at a $15 price point, simultaneously with the release of the print rulebook into standard distribution. Catalyst Game Labs continues to follow this pattern with the recent publication of Leviathans’ Lieutenant’s Manual, the first major miniatures game release also utilizing the Creative Commons license, embracing the open-minded nature of the electronic medium.

At the same time Catalyst Game Labs is dedicated to supporting brick-and-mortar hobby stores, still the life’s blood of our hobby and the greatest avenue for new players to be exposed to new games. The Catalyst RED (Retailer Electronic Distribution) combines Catalyst embracing of electronic distribution and retailer support into a single system that allows retailers to sell our PDFs directly to customers.

The release of both Eclipse Phase Core Rulebook and Leviathans’ Lieutenant’s Manual PDFs at a reduced price showcased the willingness of gamers to “check out a new game” if the price is reasonable; especially combined with the willingness of a publisher to stand by the quality and strength of their game line. With two of the most icon universes in our industry (and a fabulous up-and-coming game line) Catalyst Game Labs is standing by the strength and quality of its game lines, lowering the price of its introductory products for the entire gaming community.

If you’ve always wanted to check out Shadowrun or BattleTech (or would like to return after a long hiatus), there’s never been a better chance to grab a PDF and see what the excitement is all about! Our PDFs are available from our own BattleShop or DriveThruRPG.
